There are two triangles: a small one to the left and a big one, which includes the small one. They both have a common angle (the leftmost angle) and since (we can assume) the two columns meet the floor at right angles, they both have two equal angles. This means they are similar (AAA).

Let the distance of the base of the stairs to the tallest column be d.

Because matching sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio,
4 / 6 = d / (6 + 12)
4 / 6 = d / 18
(4 * 18) / 6 = d
d = 12

The answer is C

Paul has $40000 to invest. His intent is to earn 9% interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at 6% and part a
Black_prince [1.1K]

Paul needs to invest $10000 at 6% interest and $30000 at 10% interest to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose, the amount of money at 6% interest is x

As Paul has total $40000 to invest, so the amount of money at 10% interest will be: (40000-x) dollar

His intent is to earn 9% interest on his $40000 investment. So, the equation will be......

0.06x+0.10(40000-x)=0.09*40000\\ \\ 0.06x+4000-0.10x=3600\\ \\ -0.04x=3600-4000=-400\\ \\ x=\frac{-400}{-0.04}=10000

So, Paul needs to invest <u>$10000 at 6% interest</u> and ($40000- $10000) or <u>$30000 at 10% interest </u>to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.
